Most agree that the years spent in high school are
the best times of our lives. STUDENT LIFE repre-
sents the many extra-curricular activities when
friends get together to have fun and "kick back
and relax". Most of our favorite high school
memories occur outside the classroom. Homecom-
ing, Prom, assemblies, and dances will be etched in
our memories forever. Vf hen the final bell rings,
everyone rushes to
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

Fads and Fashions.
Fads and Fashions
are a sign of the times. They
reflect individual attitudes
and lifestyles.
At Charlevoix High
School Fads and Fashions
change with time. This year
our student body has gone
"Back In Time" with style.
When walking
through the halls at C.H.S. it
was common tb see many
variations of today's most
j|0j>ular fashions.

Homecoming is always a fun time of year,
especially Fall Homecoming. The float building
brings out class spirit, and spirit week brings the
whole school together. There's no other time of
year when the students can dress in "wacky"
clothes and the teachers can eat pie 'til their faces
turn "blue". C.H.S loves Homecoming. It's a
tradition that will bring good time memories for
years to come.
Crown Bearers, Daniel Swenor and
Hannah Bradley, anxiously wait for

The 1994 Christmas Assembly was a fantastic
success. There was a cheery atmosphere created by
the many hours of hard work by the students and
faculty. Afterwards a Christmas Dance was
sponsored by the Student Council. Although there
was not a blizzard whirling outside, the hanging
garlands and tinsel created a lovely and memorable
evening.

Academics today are more than just learning the
"basics". Students don't learn from just teachers
and textbooks. They learn from fellow students,
experiences, and contact with the outside world.
Academics today are making students smarter and
better prepared to take on the future. Clubs and
organizations give students a sense of
responsibility and belonging that helps prepare
them for life after high school. Most strive to be
ahead of their time.

T.M.I. Enjoys Last Year at C.H.S.
The T.M.I. . (Trainable Mentally Impaired) room was a very special class. They were
hard workers who deserve a lot of credit for all they did for C.H.S. They got along
very well with the student body. Everyday they washed trays and cleaned the tables
in the cafeteria, as well as sweep the halls. Once a week they filled up the juice
machine.
They knew how to have fun by going bowling, skiing, and throwing parties. Near
the end of the school year they went to Call of the Wild in Gay lord. There they rode
go-carts, bumper cars, and toured the museum. The T.M.I, even had their own prom.
Every spring the T.M.I, room combined with other sheltered workshops in the area
and sponsored a track and field day. The T.M.I, kids have become a part of C.H.S.,
and though they will be missed, we wish them success in the future.
Sylvia Potter is proud to be a
1995 C.H.S. graduate.
Every year Ms. Marti Mathers sponsers a "Kids Are Worth It!" Day.

spent hours practicing their skills on

38 FRENCH CLUB
Twenty-six C.H.S. French students joined Madam
and Monsieur Wendt for ten fun filled days in
the beautiful country of France. They started out
the trip flying from Traverse City, to Chicago, to
Paris. There was no time to rest after the long
flight; it was time to explore! After two days in
Paris, it was on to the magnificent Loire Valley
and two nights Tours. Next on the agenda, were
Toulouse, which everyone agreed was an exciting
city, and then Nimes, where they visited the
Roman Amphitheatre and Le Pond de Gaurd.
The grand finale was two nights in the "Souse of
France," where they explored Nice, travelled to
Eze and Monaco, enjoyed the summer-like
weather, and even went swimming in the
Mediterranean! It truly was paradise! They'll
never forget Burns' Porche ride, Anique, the Nazi
kids, Seirge and his magic tricks, or "Scrota's"
problem with green beans. A great time was had
by all. Everyone on the trip agrees when they say,
"Thanks, Madam, for giving us the experience of
a lifetime!"

Y63.rbOOKI Rayder staff gives own time
The inexperienced 94-95 yearbook staff began the year with a shaky start Soon
into the year everyone realized it was going to be difficult and require a lot of
teamwork in order to make this year's book a success. Since publications was not
an "official" C.H.S. class, staff members along with Yearbook Advisor, Dixie
Ashton and Student Teacher, Karen Lerch gave up nights, weekends and even
most of their summer vacation to complete the 94-95 Rayder. Some new features
of the book include the extended color section. Though everyone involved with
the 94-95 Rayder would agree the word "headache" accurately describes feelings
toward this book, everyone also would agree the 94-95 Rayder is the best year-
book C.H.S. has ever seen.
Keep Smilin' Gita Butcher!
You'll make that deadline.
Juniors Marcy Wojan, Alison
Beatty, and Mary Beth Gagnon

103 Seniors Graduate June 4, 1995
1995 Senior Class Graduation Poem
by Rev. Bruce Hamilton
Good afternoon C. H.S.I
This is not the student bulletin as deliuered by Drew.
It is greetings to the class of '95 and friends.
From me and Vou know who ....
There's much that could be said about a class,
Whose "electrical skills" almost turned the Middle School brown.
There's much to remember about "Kiss or Kill,"
On the Elementary School playground.
Don't forget Mark's "One Singular Sensation,"
Or Scott and Callie's "Sleeping Beauty;"
Rnd Liz Grunch who set an all time record,
By doing her basketball duty.
Then there are out two angles watching us,
Who we all miss quite dearly;
But if you look in your hearts, you'll always see
Samatha and Heather clearly.
How could Sarah Warner euer think,
Sawdust would euer put a fire out?
Hh, bot watching her on the girl's soccer team --
Her kicks made fans cheer and shout!
it's true, you went to Mackinac instead of Washington D.C.
But you haue done so much more!
Vou haue earned more academic honors and letters
Than perhaps any class before.
There's a large group of Western Broncos
Some Spartans, and a bunch of Uloluerines.
I happen to be partial towards an Anderson Uniuersity Rauen,
Who has Steuen Spielbergian Dreams.
Oh, who can forget James Conlan,
That teacher's aide ewtrordianaire;
Only watching Aladdin' in French fiue times
Rs Madame s sub can possibly compare!
Since Cue hit a few highlights,
Rnd some others you may wish to forget,
Vou Know 111 ho says as a graduate's Father,
I can say a few Daddy type things yet.
Vou are not the only ones,
Who feel it's been a long strange trip.
We parents think it was only yesterday.
That we carried you on our hip.
Rs you turn this corner in your liues,
Rlways remember we care.
Though you may grow up, neuer grow away,
For we haue so much more to share.
And Vou Know III ho makes it easier,
He's always been ready to be your friend.
The faith, hope, and ioue He brings to our liues,
Means the aduenture need neuer end.
You II learn a lot more as you continue you studies.
We'll follow your growth with pride.
But if you euer need help, don't you euer forget,
We're all ready to stand by your side.
So congratulations on this priceless day,
We Ioue each one of you.
Blessings to the class of 95,
From me and Vou Know Who.
Katie Thorp, Claudia
Ricks, Sara Schenck,

Colleen Urban (Class President), Amy VanGuilder (Class Vice-President), Rory
McKeown (Student Council Representative) and Jeremy Biggerstaff ( Student

The Junior class began the
year with a bang! They
flooded the academic classes,
drowned the varsity sports,
and swam their way to the top
leadership roles at C.H.S.
The Junior class has also done
a lot for not only for C.H.S,
but for the community. The
Academic English HI classes
dedicated their free time
volunteering for senior
citzens, writing biographies,
and even sponsoring a "Jun-
ior/Senior" (senior citizens)
dance. The year was also
marked by the planning of the
Junior/Senior Prom at the
Arboretum Restaurant April
29, which was a tremendous
success. Overall, the class of
'96 had a prosperous, fun, and
memorable year!

Your Time Will Come
The Sophomore Class was very
busy from the minute they
stepped into school the first day.
They started the year by spon-
soring the first dance of the
football season. Taking an
environmental stand, the class
of 1997 decided to sponsor a
recycling program. In March,
they worked diligently on a St.
Patrick's Day raffle. They
collected donations from busi-
nesses and individuals in order
to raffle off their prizes. They
ended the year with memories
of fun and exciting activities-but
anxious for the upcoming year.
Sophomore Class Officers and Student Council members include Nick Bogart (Student Council Representative),
Rachel Newcomb (Student Council Representative), Jessica Babb (Class President), Becky Blissett (Class Vice-
President), Meg Spang (Class Secretary and Treasurer), and Anne Scott (Student Council Representative).

Mr. Nelson Green "Roars" into Retirement
Amazingly, Mr. Nelson Green rides
his motorcycle to school December
22, the day before Christmas break.
Much to everyone's suprise, Mr. Nelson Green
roared down the hallway on his Harley
Davidson motorcycle the last day of school.
Teaching Government for most of
his 25 years at C.H.S, Mr. Green also taught
world history, geography, and English classses
as well as sponsering the senior class several
times.
Mr. Green has been married to his
wife Leah for 30 years, and they have two sons,
Eric and Heath.
In his retirement years Mr. Green
plans to read, listen to his favorite jazz, blue
grass and folk music; go on wilderness conoe
and camping trips, and tour the countryside on
his motorcycle.
Mr. Green advises C.H.S. students:
"Take care in setting your goals and then
persevere."
"Thanks and good luck, Mr. Green.
We'll never forget you!"
Mr. Green poses by the American
flag in government class.
Mr. Ed Crook made math fun!!
Mr. Ed Crook smiles at his
studentu wondering, "How many
more days until retirement "
After 31 years of teaching math (the last 25 at C.H.S), Mr. Ed Crook is looking
forward to retirement.
In addition to teaching, he helped with Pep Club, Track, and Cross Country, and
was often a class advisor.
Mr. Crook has always been very involved with his family. His wife Judy teaches
computer classes at the K-5 building and both his sons graduated in 1995: Steve from C.H.S.
and Bill from M.S.U.
According to Mr. Crook: "I've tried to teach with a sense of humor so that all
students could enjoy math class even though it might not be their best subject."
Hopefully, Mr. Crook will now have more time to enjoy his boat and puttering
around with anything mechanical.
"Thanks Mr. Crook for making math fun and believing in all of us. We'll miss
you!"
Mr. Crook gets ready
to drive away from
C.H.S. on last time in
his 1965 Corvette
that he bought new
his first year of
teaching 30 years
ago.
Honored at a reception for retiring teachers are
Mr. Nelson Green, Mr. Ed. Crook, Mrs. Mary-
Ann Chew and Mr. Vince Chew.

Sports today are more than just learning the
"basics ". Students don 't learn from just teachers
and textbooks. They learn from competition,
experiences, and team work. Sports today are
making students smarter and better prepared to
take on the future. Sports give students a sense of
responsibility and belonging that helps prepare
them for life after high school.

SKI TEAM 109
Wrestlers "head-lock" competition!!!
p

Wrestlers include: Assistant Coach Gregg Whitley, Jon
Browe, Ron Haggard, Bruce Reinhart, Brian VanDeCar,
Chris Dominich, Bobby Gillum, Ryan Pittman, Coach Greg
Bryan, Jason Cesaro, Kyle Russel, Brad Eaton, and
managers John Hart and Tony Cesaro.
The strongest, most competitive sport around is
wrestling. The 1994-95 season was exceptional
with Ron Haggard, Jason Metiva, Bruce
Reinhart, Dan Harris, and Kyle Russell all
qualifying for Regional competition. With
strained eyes, pounding hearts, and bitten
fingernails, we saw Bruce Reinhart wrestle his
way to State. Coach Greg Bryan and his
talented athletes should be complimented on
such an outstanding effort!
I'll drag him to his grave!" exclaims Jason Metiva.
Dan Harris gets himself out of a jam and
later qualifies for Regionals.
Ron Haggard shows his opponent the right way to win a
match.
Bruce Reinhart is ready to attack any opponent.

It's tough being a girl
competiting against boys,
but #2 singles player Amy
Freidinger can intimidate
any male any day!
The 94-95 tennis team did surprisingly well this
year and broke the six year dry spell as they
qualified for State Finals. The number one doubles
team of Chris Matye and Matt Dietel dominated
the conference and the region as did the number
two doubles team of Kevin Balch and Brad Parsel.
Also at regionals, the number three singles player,
Shay Arnold finished in second place as the team
shocked Harbor Springs by stealing second place
from them. It was a great year overall, and we
wish continued success to next year's team.
The outstanding #1 doubles team of
Matt Dietel and Chris Matye are
regional champs.
Getting pumped up for his
big match at State Finals is
#1 singles player, Eric
Anderson.

The 1994-1995 Rayder Yearbook is dedicated to two
members of the class of '95:
Dear Sam.
You were the wind in my sails that kept me gliding through each
day,
You were the twinkling star in the night sky that helped me find
my way.
You were the helping hand that pulled me up after a face.
You were the life preserver that kept afloat in the ocean of life.
You were the laughter that made me look forward to each and
every day.
You were the companion with whom I could do anything.
You were the friendship that truly made me feel like the richest
woman on earth.
You were the love that gave me a sister for life.
You were the keeper of a special place in my heart that will never
be replaced.
You were the fleeting dove that rose too quickly from my life into
the everlasting crystalline blue sky.
You are the smile I will miss forever.
Your loving friend,
Lisa

Memories
In Loving Memory of
Heather Elizabeth Klieber
1 have a photograph.
I have a recollection of the past.
I have chills.
I have the words that slip away from the task of writing about you.
How do I explain to those who didn't know you now that you're gone.
The answer is easy.
I can't.
They will never understand what it was like to lose so dear a friend.
As children we played in the gravel pit behind the trailer, hunting frogs, playing with snakes
We would talk about what we would be " when we grew up" .
You wanted to be an animal biologist.
I didn't have a clue.
Now I'm almost "grown-up" , but I've had to do it without you.
Somehow it Just doesn't seem fair that you will never sec the world, that you will never reach
eighteen, that you wilt never get to be alt you've dreamed.
Someone says, "Life's not fair" .
So what!
That doesn't change the way 1 feci.
You are a spirit floating on the wind, leaiing the rest of us behind to mourn for you.
We all sent a piece of us with you.
For every time loved ones die, a part of us dies with them.
Paul Simon wrote: "Preserve your memories; they're all that's left you. "
Could anything be more true?

itarian methods of the old
communist Soviet regime to
keep the shaky Russian
Federation unified.
Europe's worst flood in this
century kills at least 30 people
across Europe. Inland floods

over the intrusion.
Tipper Gore, wife of
U.S. Vice President
Al Gore, visits
Rwandan refugee camps in

President Clinton, with
Republican leader
Bob Dole, signs
legislation implementing the
U.S. role in an expanded
General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade (GATT), one of the
most sweeping trade liberal-
ization pacts in history. The

In Ethiopia, anthro-
pologists discover the

30-foot waves. Most of the 29 crewmen are entombed inside the wreckage, well preserved in the
39° waters.
Cutbacks in military spending force the U.S. Navy to

from chocolate chips, graham
cracker bits, and mini-
marshmallows.
A lively new cafe society centers around
the 5,000 gourmet coffeeshops which
spring up around the country. To the often
young and trendy patrons, the social interaction is
just as important as the espresso. Some cafes offer
full-time Internet links so patrons can sip and chat
with other Internet latte-drinkers.
Yoga, a Hindu system
of stretching
exercises for well-
being, surges in
popularity, mostly
because the older
generation seeks a
technique for
alleviating stress
and finds yoga better
than aerobics.
Besides recycled
clothing like license-
plate bustiers,
bottle-cap jewelry,
trash-bag and duct-
tape dresses, fashion

schoolgirl look with
thigh-highs, and the
grunge-turned-beatnik
look of long, straight
hair and a goatee.
